I would say that could be the issue......
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
1. No

2. I am testing that just now :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Yes, this breaks the caches, so they are redone, causing a little delay on first boot.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] rmourar:
I applied the home button lag tweak and it works great...

The phone feels much faster...

My only problem is still the calendar going ape **** on me....

Any sugestions??
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] tenchi0205:
:eek: so is my bad liao lo
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
Freeze stock calendar and use another one from the market?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] reidar.ostrem:
the developer of enhanced email is under the impression that the fault is in the sgsii libraries.. I get the fault both with stock email and enhanced email. Haven't tried k9 though..

There is a problem with the phone waking up for no apparent reason it seems!

I had lockscreened the phone, and it was asleep, but sometimes the lockscreen will light up and come on, for no apparent reason. Anyone experiencing this? :(
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] lpsi2000:
Good question and I don't think so but hopefully someone who is using the tweak could answer that one. I have no plain on using it, my phone is pretty snappy and I don't want to lose any features.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
Just tested it and screen capture is still working fine with the tweak applied.

Sorry I need more help...

Installed VR and the Ninphetamine kernel, however, I still have xxkg2 as the baseband..do I not need to be on kh3 and how do I update this please?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] nikzDHD:
That's your modem need to flash this separately. Can flash via odin or CWM if some has made it flashable via recovery. You can find these on the forum do a search latest modem is KH3.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
You do not "NEED" to be on KH3 modem, however it seems to be the most awesome modem so far.

Just download it from the link in my sig, it's flashable via CWM recovery. No need to wipe anything.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mchu6am4:
Thanks found it!

Lastly (I hope) I'd like to get rid of the yellow triangle...I need the CWM manager which I cannot find on the Market and also if I install stock kernel, will it wipe my Ninphetamine kernel?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] will-i-am1977:
for some reason, after applying the home button lag fix from vrtweaks, i had a boot loop, gonna try and reflash 2.4.2 to see if it fixes it
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
CWM Manager is attached to this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=675358&d=1312342122

Yes, if you flash stock kernel it will replace anything you have installed already.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] s2d4:
Damn you and pulser has got lots of patience in answering repetitive questions.... Cheers for being such a good sport you guys!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mchu6am4:
Thanks, I guess once i've installed the stock kernel the triangle will disappear and then I can reinstall the custom kernel?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] rantzzz:
No one noticed this problem?

It seems to happen when the phone losses signal, as upon lighting up, I find that the phone signal indicator is always a "no entry" symbol...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kahvitahra:
If you guys want to use that home button fix with my APM mods. You found flashable zip to it from here. Flash it after one of those mods.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
That's correct, just flash the custom kernel afterwards with CWM app.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
Pulser doesn't have as much patience towards repetitive questions as I do. That's why we kinda split the support between us.

Just want to say thank you also to many others who are helping out in this thread as well.

Your devotion is much appreciated. :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mchu6am4:
Again big thanks from me too, much appreciated!

Hello, im new here and i have just flashed this rom after alot of reading, i think my battery life isnt as good as it was before i flashed it.

I fully charged the battery earlier today and after 2 hours of light usage its down to 80%.

I havent even installed any apps yet and there is nothing obvious thats draining battery. I am on ninphet 2.4. I have all the usual battery savings tweaks in effect, low brrightness etc.

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thx for a nice rom il be sure to donate.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] starbucks2010:
Why is so hard to post some ROM screens in the OP?

Thank you.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] lpsi2000:
As usual great job. In the future please make this fix an option as it is now for the people like me who do not want to lose the double tap to Samsung features. Love you mods.

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] shorty083:
Because this rom is as close to stock as possible so you wouldn't see much difference.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] lpsi2000:
LOL, it is not hard at all but what is the sense of doing that when it is the same as stock. If you already know what stock looks like then no need for screen shots.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] njord74:
I have used this Rom for 1 day and like it.

However,i tried another Rom today,and went back to this one.

I restored to a backup i made with CWM after i wiped everything (Dalvik/cache/factory).

But is it possable the batterytime or other stuff can be a bit different after a restore?

Because i did restore some weeks ago from Litening 5.0 to litening 3.2 and experienced worse batterylife,even if 3.2 was a verson i used to have good batterylife on.

Any ideas?Because i would like to have the homescreens i have now.

Btw,is it any app that save/make backup of my homescreen with all app?

Titanium dont,not of the appearance i had.

Why KG5 still?

Hi,

I am coming to villain rom from touch xtreme 3.2 sp1. I did a wipe for userdata and cache and flashed this rom (villainrom 2.4.2) . even after doing that my baseband version shows xxkg5. kernel version is ninph-2.0.4 . Can anyone tell me how to get XXKG6?

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] norpan111:
Upload some screenshots for us...we are all eager to know how it looks...lol
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mb:
Home screen lag 'fix' does not seem to play nicely with my 2.4.2 Lite setup. Been stuck on the "Samsung Galaxy SII GT-I9100" screen for well over 15 minutes now. I'm guessing it's a lemon with my setup.

Good job I took a Nandroid.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Baz-L:
Sorry to post the above again only things move fast here. Has anybody had the same or do i have to do something?

Thx again.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
VillainROM doesn't touch Baseband, so you have to update it manually. :)

Currently a very highly recommended modem is KH3. You can find the link to it in my sig, its a CWM recovery flashable zip.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Because I am not a themer pretending to be a dev, making a theme and bundling it with a ROM, calling it a full rom.

Most vr users have customisations of their own, so screenshots are not mostly applicable :) you flash the ROM. Then you flash a theme if needed (your theme should have screenshots).
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Baz-L:
Can anybody help me with the battery situation i posted above please?

I might be missing something but as i said it just seems my battery isnt as good as it was pre villainrom, seems to drop faster even with no usage;/
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Hmm missed your post.

First, update modem to kh3. It seems very good :)

Second, use the app betterbatterystats to see if something is holding lots of wakelocks. Use an app like cpu spy to see if deep sleep is being reached.

Also freeze any apps built in that you don't use :)

If you still have no idea, might be time to just wipe and reflash. I sometimes just get a bad vibe after an install, and wipe out and redo...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] LuffyPSP:
Screen on = 1 hours

Awake = 5 hours 45 min

Using Nexus S live wallpaper

Brigthness = Full!!!!!

Battery left = 60% OMG OMG OMG i dont know how my awake time is that much time but battery still have that much... :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ediflyer:
OK I know it's not officially supported but wondered if anyone could help...

Currently running VR 2.4.2, ninphetamine 2.0.5, KH3 modem (ie. geko95gek's signature :D). All running well, with good battery life (battery life under stock rom had been atrocious).

Then went to add MS Exch account (up until now been syncing an IMAP and GMail account). This has security policies in place that force a PIN code (which I used anyway) and device/SD encryption.

Account added OK, but prompted for a 6-character password that was alphanumeric+symbol, whereas on Stock Samsung it was just a 4-digit password that was needed. It also then, upon rebooting (and after entering SIM PIN and device password) then just said 'Failed to encrypt data'.

I had hoped that restoring from a nandroid backup would at least put me back to where I was, but I still seem to be stuck at this point every time I reboot.

Any ideas? I know I could just go back to stock ROM, but the improvement in battery life and the CirclesMod makes a vast difference to usability of the phone!

Thanks for any advice.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ediflyer:
OK so this is a more major problem than I thought - did a full reset and restored from nandroid backup and it's still asking for the same password then saying failed to encrypt data - how to I get out of this loop?!!

OK, so had a pre-VR Nandroid backup and that worked OK in then allowing the encryption to go ahead - looks like it might be some issue with custom kernels/ROMs (rooting OK as I was running TitaniumBackup Pro fine before on stock ROM). Thanks to pulser_g2 for the http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=16867580 thread, which helped me out too!

Would still like to solve this though if possible - the battery life on stock ROM is just rubbish, and I'd really miss CirclesMod!!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] eeebbr:
Searched but didny saw anyone with the same problem.

Im using 2.4.2 lite.did full wipe.speedmod t25,ke4. Came from cognition 1.42.black hyperdex mod(set up for villain)

Viber just wouldnt work on villain.will send 1 msg and freeze and sometime will have fc.tried to wipe dalvik and cache.switch kernel and modem, reinstalling the app, nothing helped.

Keep getting a massage of viber.voip not responding.

Its working well on cognition and stock rom.

It might work well for 2 minuets if I'm not sending or receiving a massage but then freeze the phone again.

Anyone experienced that or have any idea how I might be able to solve it? Would appreciate any suggestion because I want to actually try this rom due to good battery recommendations from a lot of people with sgs2.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] chiggah:
There seems to be something wrong with my battery life. I had 2.4.2 for a couple of days now

When I first flashed it to VillainROM, i had great battery life about 3% loss overnight

After that I tried Litening and Cognition and now back to VillainROM 2.4.2, my battery has gotten worse - lasts about 1 day on light use and lose about 10-15% overnight.

This isnt normal is it ? So I was wondering how can i fix it ?? I was thinking to restore back to factory and then re-flash it again..

What do I need to do ? I've done a fresh install (data/cache/dalvik wipe) before I install the ROM
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] sayantandas:
thanks! that was very helpful.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] sayantandas:
call recording?

do you have any link for adding call recording to this rom? i did not see any record option popping up during calls.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
If it helps, you can find a security policy removed version of email app...

But remember that rooted phone and important company data don't go well together, as anyone can dump the files... :p
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pulser_g2:
Yes, but update radio to kh3 first perhaps.

Some other ROMs install radios.

Hmm my AOS usage is still high.... 13 hours 21 minutes on battery, AOS CPU usage is @ 35min, is this normal?

What kinds of apps or usage will contribute to AOS CPU usage?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Baz-L:
OK, thanks for the help i'll give this a try today, i have never used these 2 apps you mention so i might have to post some more info questions back here.

I'll go and install the kh3 modem, do i just flash from sd to install kh3? should i backup anything first etc?

am i ok being on this nimphet 2.4 also or should i update this too?

really appreciate the help- thanks so much! :D....il post back after trying these things.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] rantzzz:
I installed the KH3 modem via CWM without backing up anything. Worked like a charm!

Installing VillianRom is my first time flashing a custom ROM on Android! Very honoured to be part of this ROM, and so far everything's running good :D
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ediflyer:
Thanks, but I don't want to actually remove the security policy. I'm trialling TouchDown instead. It costs about £12, but the nice thing is that it keeps all the data encrypted within its own DB without needing to encrypt the whole phone, therefore CWM, etc. all still work. It's not the nicest of interfaces but they have now got a tablet version too, so at least for the money I can now get it on my Tab 10.1 too (I was resisting adding the MS Exch email onto it as I didn't want to have to go through PIN code login to the tablet).
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] famusc:
No VillainROM updated to KH3?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ediflyer:
It takes literally seconds to flash the updated modem.bin so I don't really see the point in pulser_g2 having to keep updating the ROM with each new modem?? (even though this one does seem pretty good)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] famusc:
I was talking about KH3 PDA not modem ;)

How can you be such a noob considering you've been on xda since 2005?

Search is your friend... then again, it probably isn't if you haven't learnt about it for the last 6 years....

Anyway, short answer is no. Pulsar didn't see the need as there hasn't been any evidence that it is any better/different to the current version
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Baz-L:
Ok mate thx for letting me know, im in the same boat as you, had my sg2 for a few weeks, done a lot of reading about rooting/roms etc, coming from iphone and being new to android i didnt want to mess anything up...

Villainrom is also my first time flashing a rom, did it a couple days ago, really liking it!

I'll go flash kh3 now, thx again! :)

In my opinion, search is all but friendly when you are looking for news. Especially in a very long thread. Search is useful for punctual queries.

Kernels

Since I'm coming from the Motorola Milestone with a locked bootloader I don't really know alot about kernels.

Can I use any kernel with any rom?

And which kernel do you recommend for stability and good batterylife? Speed does not matter since the phone is blazing fast anyway.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
Uhm...your question doesn't really relate to villainrom, so I don't think this is the right topic to post it. Next time please make sure you're posting in the right thread.

Kernels are usually universal on sgs2, but as a general rule you should use the kernel that the rom dev recommends.

For villainrom, its ninphetamine kernel (link is in my sig).

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] evenelia:
Thanks for the quick answere :)

I ment to ask which kernel was the best for villainrom, but I forgot to write that. Thats why I posted it here. :o
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
Haha, ok my bad.

Villainrom already comes with ninphetamine 2.0.4, its advised to update the kernel to 2.0.5 after flashing villainrom.

Transmitted from a Galaxy far far away via XDA telepathy.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
Thanks for referencing me in your posts. :p

Unfortunately I cannot advise you too much regarding Exchange since I don't use it. I guess best thing would be to remove everything via a complete wipe. Then reinstall villainrom.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] rantzzz:
Why is it advisable to update to 2.0.5 ninphetamine kernel?

The changelog only states BLN battery usage optimisation and touchpanel sensitivity when charging...

Just wondering, if I am satisfied with what 2.0.4 brings, then is there a point for me to update? Unless it brings about substantial battery life increase... :p

Hi, was just reading and saw this, i just flashed villainrom, then as advised earlier today (due to my battery life seemingly not as good now) flashed the kh3 modem to see if that helps...

Im currently on ninphet 2.4 as thats what was installed when i flashed villainrom

Should i also upgrade to the latest kernel? i mean is this the general rule of thumb?

Thanks in advance :P
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
Well, flashing that modem should give you a substantial addition to your battery life.

I would suggest you update the kernel as well, Ninphetamine 2.1.0 is out now. Link is in my sig.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] BoneMo:

you have #KERNEL| Ninphetamine-2.0.5 written in sig..link works but it is confusing a little
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Baz-L:
yeah just doing a full charge now before i calibrate the battery, hopefully i'll see an improvment since updating the modem....

As for updating ninphet, is that the same method, no backup needed just a quick flash from sd card via cwm?

Thanks for your help, much appreciated :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] AvRS:
It's always worthwhile making a backup before flashing anything as you can never account for anything mysteriously going wrong during a flash so it's always safer. Other than that, it is exactly the same process via cwm or use cwm app (available on the post 5 or 6 in attachment list) and choose flash kernel.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CamoGeko:
Thanks, I thought I changed that earlier.

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ediflyer:
Any particular changes/improvements that you know of? Up to 10h and still 71% battery life just now on 2.0.5/KH3 ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ediflyer:
Hehe no worries :P On the Exchange front - device encryption and VR (?all custom ROMs) just doesn't seem to mix, so instead going down the Touchdown route. It's not the best of UIs (mind you neither is the stock Samsung email app), but it only encrypts its own DB, so you don't need to have whole device encryption, avoiding all the issues (and restoring pattern lock :P).
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] njord74:
Do you use to calibrate battery after just flashing kernels or modems??

I have never done that.Only after Roms..

just to recap then, im running villainrom, as advised i updated to kh3 modem and ninphet 2.1.1...

Did another full charge, calibrated the battery and it is still draining very fast, even in standby its loosing power.

I installed cpu spy but im not fully sure on the info it gives....

1200MHz - 13%

1000MHz - 9%

800MHz - 16%

500MHz - 5%

200MHz - 55%

Unused CPU states - 1600MHz, 1400MHz, Deep Sleep

Does this mean my phone is never getting into deep sleep?

Is there anything i can do to sort his prob out?

I did a nandroid backup 2 days ago before i flashed villainrom 2.4.

but since then i have updated the modem and kernel.

Any help or suggestions would be really appreciated, love this rom but my battery just seems crappy since i flashed it :(
